NFL - Basically ¾ of the way through the NFL Season. Four weeks left! Time to recap/look forward!

Thursday night game tonight - NE vs. Rams

How has the league handled COVID?

Major surprises of the season

Mark

Steelers - I don’t think they’re the same quality as the other 11-1 team (Chiefs) but still impressive nonetheless.

Miami Dolphins - 8-4

Browns to an extent. 9-3 and second in their division. 

Trevor

 Browns are 9-3 and looking at the playoffs

Patriots still 6-6, thought they would be lower

Bills back to 9-3

Dolphins 8-4? Tua going nuts

Major disappointments of the season

Mark

AFC South - just not as good top to bottom as I thought. Houston in particular is disappointing.

Baltimore Ravens only at 7-5 and 3rd in their division.

NFC East - no explanation needed.

Minnesota Vikings

 Ravens at 7-5

Texans at 4-8
